OPERATE SERVICE BRAKES

WARNING

Operating in water or mud causes brake linings to get wet and can

impair vehicle braking. Dry brakes by driving vehicle about 500 ft

(150 m) while applying service brakes often. If adequate braking is

not restored by drying brakes, notify Field Maintenance. Failure to

comply may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

Do not press brake pedal hard three or four times in a row. Air

supply will be used up and service brakes will not work until air

pressure builds up again. Do not operate vehicle until FRONT and

REAR BRAKE AIR pressure reaches at least 100 psi (690 kPa).

Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel

or damage to equipment.

CAUTION

If ABS indicator, or TRAILER ABS indicator on vehicle 15,676 or higher,

illuminates, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ECU has detected a fault.

Notify Field Maintenance upon completion of mission. Failure to comply may

result in damage to the equipment.

Push down and hold brake pedal (20) to slow or stop vehicle.
